1875WRCAM40335N.p. but possibly Paris 1875. Forty engraved plates. Folio. Contemporary green half calf and marbled boards spine gilt. Spine faded. Lightly rubbed at extremities. Bookplate on front pastedown. First plate lightly age- toned. Some very minor scattered foxing else bright and clean internally. Very good. A volume of engravings depicting the voyage of the ship Bellone and seafaring life. Following the "title" plate which is numbered 21 are scenes of Africa primarily in Senegal. These plates depict the natives villages and cities. After the scenes of Africa are plates depicting maritime life evidently on a French naval vessel in the Atlantic. These images are much more delicately engraved and are not numbered. The first few of these detail a "day in the life" of a sailor from morning muster and breakfast through scrubbing the deck and inspection and shore leave. Two plates of Uruguay and two unidentified landscapes are also inexplicably inserted in the midst of this sequence. An interesting and perhaps unique compilation of travel and maritime images. hardcover books

Davy is credited with discovering chlorine and iodine and for isolating for the first-time potassium sodium calcium strontium barium magnesium and boron. As befit a well-rounded man of his day Ayrton describes him: "His mind was as vigorous as it was original and no less logical and precise as it was daring and comprehensive; nothing was too mighty for its grasp nothing too minute for its observation; like the trunk of the elephant it could tear up the oak of the forest or gently pluck the acorn from its branch" p.14. While the prose at times can border on the hagiographic the reports of Davy's discoveries and his personal and professional relationships with the great men of his age make for fascinating reading.
